But now, one conservative has taken his hate for people in poverty even farther, he has announced that he wants the poor to all die. In a recent online discussion Indiana Republican John Johnston said that all government welfare benefits need to be eliminated, but that Democrats will not allow it because they do not have, “the guts to just let (the poor) wither and die.”

The sun beams down on a brand new day
No more welfare tax to pay
Unsightly slums gone up in flashing light
Jobless millions whisked away
At last we have more room to play
All systems go to kill the poor tonight

This guy is toast, politically. For we washed up punk rockers I hope some pundit attacks mail service and property ownership so we can reminisce on DKs’ classics “Stealing People’s Mail” and “Let’s Lynch the Landlord.”

I hope that he is toast. Politicians have been trying to cut back on the US Postal Service and there has been talk of killing Saturday Delivery so “Stealing People’s Mail” post could just be possible! And there has to be some excuse to blog about “Let’s Lynch the Landlord.” 🙂

Exactly John. Romney demonstrated how far removed the rich are so well when he joked about being unemployed and talked about “struggling to get by” in his early married days when he obviously has no idea what being “unemployed” or “struggling” financially means
